Art Deco Sculpture by Limousin of Woman Seated with Dog on Exotic Marble Base

About the Item

This exquisite Art Deco sculpture by the celebrated artist Limousin is a stunning representation of 1930s elegance and craftsmanship. The piece portrays a graceful woman seated in serene composure, accompanied by her loyal dog. She delicately holds a gilded fan, adding a touch of refinement to the composition. The intricate interplay of textures and finishes across the sculpture enhances its allure and highlights Limousin’s mastery of materials. The surfaces of the sculpture are beautifully varied and rich in detail. The woman’s face and hands are rendered in a silvered metal that lends an ethereal, luminous quality, while portions of her dress are adorned with gilt accents, capturing the light in a delightful contrast. The fan she holds, also gilt, reflects her poised sophistication, while the majority of her dress and her dog are finished in a sumptuous oil-rubbed bronze that exudes warmth and depth. The ensemble rests on a luxurious base constructed from a harmonious blend of onyx and Nero Marquina marble. The natural textures and tones of these materials provide an exquisite foundation for the sculpture, accentuating the rich palette of metals used in the figures. This pairing of artistic finishes with exotic materials epitomizes the spirit of the Art Deco movement, balancing opulence with modernist elegance. This remarkable work is more than a sculpture; it is a reflection of the cultural and artistic zeitgeist of early 20th-century France. With its finely detailed craftsmanship and harmonious mixture of materials, the piece stands as a timeless collector's treasure and a celebration of refinement and innovation.

Mid Century Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base by Aharon Bezalel
By Aharon Bezalel
Located in New York, NY
This unique and beautifully formed Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base is by the artist Aharon Bezalel, originating from Israel created in 1977. The sculpture is composed of multiple interlocking components, each serving as an individual point of intrigue while supporting one another as a finished sculpture. The body of the abstracted automobile appears skeletal and organic, curving dynamically, each component beautifully proportioned to house figures seated at various points both within interior and exterior spaces along the sculpture. Six figures total, the largest sitting up front with one leg extending, nearly scraping along the marble base as though to slow down this surreal vehicle, the other pulled closer to the body. Two additional figures sit behind, knees pulled close to chest, with three even smaller figures huddled together, concealed from the elements by the top sculptural component. The figures inside are visible from a variety of angles through cleverly planned openings that serve as the vehicle's windows. Signed on the rear of the sculpture, AB 77, edition 12/25 and resting on a rectangular white marble base. This brilliant piece will style beautifully in a wide array of interiors and settings, and is sure to draw the eye of sophisticated collectors appreciating the best of the 20th Century...
